Hi
I have created a New Contact form template (.oft) by editing the
standard "New Contact" form and want to use this template as the
"standard" contact form. Can anyone tell me how to do this, so that
when I click on "New Contact", the new form I have created comes up.

I may be wrong in saving this as an .oft file, but when I select
"Publish Form", I think it does it automatically.

Any help in this area would be appreciated.

Thanks
Caroline

An .oft file is an unpublished form. You need to publish the form and either
make it the global default for contacts or the default for the Contacts
folder. See http://www.outlookcode.com/d/newdefaultform.htm
